The Inspector's Visit
Inspection
A round-faced Inspector 
comes with tools. This 
shows how education is 
now focused on machines.
Adjustment
He sets the geography 
section for a ten-year-
old's level. He sees learning 
as a mechanical task.
Disappointment
Margie hoped the 
mechanical teacher would 
be removed. Her hope is 
broken. She is clearly 
unhappy with school.
